MapRat: Meaningful Explanation, Interactive Exploration and Geo-Visualization of Collaborative Ratings
Summary: MapRat exposes demography-driven aggregates to explain collaborative ratings, beyond global averages. It blends interactive exploration with explainable analytics and geo-visualization to reveal cohort-specific rating patterns for items (e.g., movies). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
